Designed to conceal a drinks cabinet within, it opens to a fully mirrored interior illuminated by integrated lighting. Two glass shelves with brass gallery rails display bottles and glassware, while the larger lower compartment accommodates taller bottles and decanters.

Richly figured veneers wrap the exterior, where meticulously bookmatched chevron and herringbone marquetry create a sense of rhythm and depth. The grain shifts with the light, revealing the cabinet's craftsmanship through pattern.

Reminiscent of work produced in Milan and Turin during the late Art Deco period, the cabinet reflects a moment when Italian designers embraced cleaner architectural forms while maintaining an exceptional standard of decorative artistry.

Whether placed in a living room, library, or dining space, it brings a sense of ceremony to entertaining while remaining understated when closed. It reads as an object before revealing its purpose.

Condition: Great vintage condition. The wood has been carefully refinished by our skillful team of restorationists, preserving its warmth and natural patina throughout. The integrated lighting has been professionally rewired with new sockets, a new cord, and a new inline switch. Keys included.

Additional Dimensions: With Doors Open: 7.75"D; With Door Closed: 55.25"W See less
